MJR, I hunt in the Alleghany county and know the weather around there pretty well, Gram used to live in Hornell. I never wear gloves at all. What I do is put a disposable (12 hour) hand warmer in each pocket and warm my hands as needed. I might wear gloves to and from the stand, but not while I'm in it. I sometimes wear a hand warmer muff around my waste and put a hand warmer in there also.
